CLEP conflicting credits?

Was wondering if some of the CLEP general exams would end up creating duplicate credit if other CLEP exams were also taken. For example, can someone take US history I and Social Sciences and recieve 9 credits? Certainly would have to ask the particular school, but was wondering if anyone had any experience on this.

Well...actually checking, I see Lawrie lists taking both on BAin4weeks, so maybe I've answered my own question, unless something has changed since then.

 

Randy_Excelsior,

I am enrolled at Excelsior, and had the same questions. I wrote the tests before I was enrolled, and at the time, I figured the testing experience would be worth it, even if I had some duplication.

I wrote Natural Sciences & Biology and received the full 12 credits. Wrote Soc.Sci & US Hist. I and II and received the full credits for each. I also wrote Human growth & development, and there was no overlap from the Soc. Sci. side either.

Of course, I didn't ask if this was a mistake, and if there really was any duplication of credit...

My evaluation was completed pretty recently--at the beginning of July.

There shouldn't be a problem. The exams you give as an example cover two different bodies of knowledge, even though they are similar is some aspects.

Cheers.

 

I was given credit for US History and History and Social Science. However, I was given 6 hrs for Biology and only 3 for Natural Science. This is for COSC.

 

I took a lot of CLEP exams ( http://bain4weeks.com/randell.html ) and COSC only gave me 3 credits for the CLEP History and Social Science exam.
